The Shamelessness of Linda Sanchez RETRACTED

RETRACTION:

An observant reader has noticed that it was LORETTA Sanchez, sister of Linda Sanchez, who was elected with the help of illegal non-citizen votes back in 1996. So instead of a brilliant post pointing out how no one from the Sanchez political family is in a position to attack those concerned about how illegal immigration undermines the rule of law, I have to make an embarrassing retraction.

Linda Sanchez is still shameless, but I am not. I goofed. Mea culpa.

Just to let you all know what happened: When Linda Sanchez (D-CA) made her comment, I thought that maybe this is the same L. Sanchez (D-CA) who was illegally elected back in the day. When I looked online, I read “Linda” when it was clearly “Loretta.”

I’ve always wondered if I was slightly dyslectic.

And last week was a high stress time when I literally had trouble remembering my phone number. Maybe I should just take a break from blogging when life gets like that.

In any case, I goofed. And I apologize.

One would have to be quite shameless to pronounce Arizona’s immigration law the work of white supremacist groups, as Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (D-CA) has. But in her case, that is only part of the story.

So for Ms. Sanchez to smear those concerned about illegal immigration when she is a living example of how the rule of law and our political system is subverted by willful illegal conduct by non-citizens . . . “shameless” is about the only adequate polite word that comes to mind.
